To me, the best one is Mortal Kombat, the first one. I loved the soundtrack from that movie. Also, the second one was alright but not all of the same cast of actors returned.

I think that's the ONLY one that's faithful to the source material. Everything else has either taken too many liberties with it (Resident Evil) or totally tossed out the original concept altogether. (BloodRayne). It's not high art, but it IS watchable.
The only one I've REALLY loved is the first Mortal Kombat. I could watch that over and over again. I also liked the Double Dragons movie. I think that's it lol...
Clue the movie. It went from Clue the board game, to an awesomely hilarious movie with an all star cast!Mumbles527
I think it's funny that a movie from the 80s based on a board game is better than most modern movies based on a video game. Who knows, they might make an adaption of Monopoly or Chutes and Ladders....
I was going to go with Mortal Kombat, but then I changed my mind at the last minute to Silent Hill. I honestly believe they did a fantastic job with the Silent Hill movie.Â
Silent Hill was pretty leet, but my favourite movie of all time was Spirits Within. People complained about no swords, no blizzara and stuff like that, but it captured Final Fantasy really well. I thought.

I enjoyed the parts where they were faithful to the game, such as the toilet scene (toilet scenes are always prominent in Japanese horror games, due to the old belief of kids that you could fall down them when they used to be just holes in the ground) and the parts when everything turned 'evil'. What I didn't like, however, was the story telling. The whole religious fanatic group left me disappointed, as did the missing child motive for exploration. I'm still praying that if they do another one they use Silent Hill 3 as a motive, that game scared the pants off me.
edit: to answer the OP's question; my favourite game to movie adaptation would have to be Street Fighter: The Animated MovieÂ
I kind of liked Tomb Raider. It's not a great movie or anything, but it's up there in terms of videogame adaptations. By default, since almost all of them are utter garbage.
Mortal Kombat easily. Back then they actually did take the time out to think about what people liked and would enjoy. Now it's just anything to make quick money.

The problem with Spirits Within is that it shouldn't have been a Final Fantasty movie. There really was nothing Final Fantasty related except a guy named Cid (or Syd or whatever). The movie in itself was good, but it was instantly dismissed by many Final Fantasy fans excepting at least a small amount of fanfare.
